Summary	0020441: Grid view should have configurable text below artwork (or added Artist at least) \| Grid (by track) view
Description	Maybe this doesn't make sense for nodes with files from the same artist, but if I have a folder with many files by different artists (e.g. singles that don't belong to albums), I would like to see at least added Artist to the Title, just like we see Album Artist below the Album name underneath the artwork in the Grid (by Album) view.
Tags	No tags attached.

Fixed in build

rusty 2026-09-23 15:08 administrator ~0082453	The Grid (by album) mode is currently designed primarily for Albums (MM doesn't currently have a grid mode that's specifically for individual tracks). A possible partial solution within the curren Grid (by Album) view would be to display Artist when Album Artist isn't available. BUT, I don't think that this really makes sense since it would give users the impression that the Album Artist field has been entered even when it isn't. A more realistic solution would be to add a Grid (by Track) view that allows users to display tracks with a range of metadata in a grid instead of a list, without grouping them. In such a view: - Album Art field must be force-enabled - All other fields would be configurable (in the same manner as they are in the list view). The only difference is that metadata would be displayed below the Artwork image. - Artwork would probably have to be larger in such a view so that there's enough space for the metadata

zvezdan 2026-09-23 19:21 updater ~0082470	I don't why you are bringing Grid (by Album) again when I didn't mentioned it, just as you had it in another related issue. Also, I don't know why you say that MM doesn't currently have a grid mode that is for individual tracks and why are you suggesting adding a new Grid (by Track) view. As far as I know, Grid (by Track) already exists. It is called just Grid and I am talking about that view all the time. What is the current Grid view if not for individual tracks?
